New blogs

Well, this looks like it will be interesting.
About Pajamas Media Pajamas Media is a new blogging venture designed to bring together the internet’s brightest minds and most compelling content into a single source that will, in turn, complement and re-define journalism in the 21st century. Upon its official debut in November 2005, Pajamas Media will feature content from over 70 noteworthy bloggers. The company was founded in 2004 by acclaimed novelist and screenwriter Roger L. Simon and Charles Johnson, software designer, musician, and author of Little Green Footballs.
Apparently the name will be changing, but we don't yet know to what. Canadians take note, Angry in the Great White North is a part of this. His profile is here. Here are two more worth a look:
  • Surfeited with Dainties by freelance writer Michael Brendan Dougherty, because you can't have too many well written conservatives on your blogroll.
  • Albion's Seedlings, for history buffs with an interest in the countries and cultures of the Anglosphere.

I have not been able to recreate that experience on my Mac, and not for a lack of trying! I looked at Marsedit , but that forces you to compse while staring at a bunch of HMT...

Da Vinci: It bleats, it leads

The trouble with The DaVinci code is certainly this : the fundamentals of the Christian creed can be summarized in a few sentences easily learned by schoolchildren and recited aloud from memory by the whole congregation on Sunday. They are great mysteries to be sure - Trinity, incarnation, redemption, salvation, crucifixion, resurrection - but they are simple enough to explain. Contrast that with the account Mr. Brown offers of a centuries-long fraud, sustained by shadowy groups, imperial politics, ruthless brutality and latterly revealed by a secret code "hidden" in one of the world's most famous paintings. The Christian Gospel offers a coherent, comprehensible account of reality that invites the assent of faith. It requires a choice with consequences. Mr. Brown's dissent from Christianity offers a bewildering and incredible amalgam of falsehoods and implausibilities, painting a picture of a world in which the unenlightened are subject to the manipulations of the fe...
